Went to visit the dealer i purchased the car from said to drop in to them and they will remove the ASS for me straight away. I discussed with them that i was not able to get a loan car at their sister store and they said there would be no problem for a loan car the next time i service. They apologized for the confusion aswell and advized the next time i drive pass their dealer and have a couple mins spare to drop in for the ASS removal

I spoke to the Senior Service Advisor at BMW Melbourne in late November and was told "can't be done" which I knew wasn't truthful but it is interesting to note other dealers in Oz are doing it.
